I have just way too much stuff in my garage I'm not using, so despite the 60 hours of labor that went into building this binocular mount, it is now up for sale. The first photo shows what you will be getting, all 25lbs of it (without the counterweights) and 37.5 (with counterweights). I purchased a stainless steel ball bearing hinge for an industrial furnace door (1,000 lb rating) as the basis for the mount and aluminum bars, which I drilled out for the main supports, teflon and stainless steel connectors for the rest. The second photo shows how I used it, but you'll need to supply your own tripod and alt/az mount for the binoculars. The parts alone cost pretty close to what I'm asking, so I doubt I'll be entertaining any low offers, but I promise not to be offended at any offer you throw at me. This is way too heavy to ship at a reasonable price, so pick up in SE CT is necessary, or perhaps I'll drive 40 to 50 miles to meet you. Thanks for looking.
